Lombardia 4.0, scenari economici territoriali e reti d’impresa di Alberto Bramanti

Lombardy 4.0, Economic Territorial Scenarios and Firms’ Networks by Alberto Bramanti

ABSTRACT
The present WP aims at discussing the territorial scenarios of Lombardy region in the light of the new industrial revolution known as ‘Industry 4.0’.
The ongoing trends, and the great drifts on which there is a large convergence among scholars, are the starting point (# 1). The next section discusses the conjectures shared by the scientific community and considered most likely (# 2). The WP goes on analysing the policy implications on the labour market and the emerging needs for a new vocational training within the regional workforce (# 3).
The previous three points are not extensively explored, rather they offer some preliminary considerations to set the frame of territorial scenarios and firms’ networks and their implications on the Lombard job market.
The WP ends with a provocative hypothesis on the foundation of a ‘second channel’ of high-technical training (# 4).
